Question

jackie is making a beaded bracelet. The bracelet will have no more than 12 beads. 1/3 of the beads on the bracelet will be green. What.other fractions could represent the part of the beads on the bracelet that will be green?

Answer 1

Since there could be no more than 12 the multiples of 1/3 untill a denominator of 12 are 2/6 3/9 and 4/12

Answer 2

`(1)/(3)`,
`(2)/(6)`,
`(3)/(9)` and
`(4)/(12)`

Explanation:

We have that,

The fraction of the bracelet having green beads =
`(1)/(3)`.

Total number of beads must be no more than 12.

Thus, the maximum number of green beads can be
`(1)/(3)* 12` =
`(12)/(3)` = 4

So, the fractions of bracelet representing green beads will be,

`(1)/(3)`,
`(2)/(6)`,
`(3)/(9)` and
`(4)/(12)`
